Other songs I’ve heard or considered:
Van Morrison – Into the Mystic (This was an excellent choice, and was used in American Wedding, lets hope the song can escape association)
Van Morrison – Crazy Love
Paul Simon – Father and Daughter (obviously for the Father/Bride dance)
Paul Simon – Hearts and Bones
I think the songs should be timeless so I tend to pick classics. I also like the soundtrack to a River Runs Through it as background music when everyone is arriving and getting food.

As far as having a song goes, my girlfriend and I have one, but it’s not really appropriate for a wedding dance. It’s Eve 6’s “Here’s to the night”, which is fine to dance to, but it’s all about leaving and saying goodbye.

The other night I saw the season finale of Everybody Loves Raymond, and Robert and Amie got married and danced to the JXL remix of Elvis’s “Little Less Conversation”. They had a whole routine planned out with the robot and the Pulp Fiction dance it was hilarious.

I like "Kiss from a Rose", it's a very good song. Unfortunanly relentless play of the song on MTV due to one of those stupid Batman sequels ruined it for me. Everytime i here it now all i can think of is batman and robin running in slow moting in front of the batman symbol.

Heh, you know what happens when two musicians get together? There's NO WAY my boyfriend and I could possibly pick a song, one song, to be 'our song'. Neither of us really care about it much, either. He's a saxophone player and I'm a composer/guitarist/singer/bassist. Of course, we've only been dating almost seven months or so, so it's way too early to be thinking about marriage or anything.

I will say this about the wedding I may possibly end up having - I know what song I would dance to with my father. And I know that I would like to sing a song to my husband. Other than that, I'll take a live band, thank you.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

Don't leave us hanging. Which songs do you want, if you don't mind sharing?
